Item Description
Beer: St. Bernardus Abt 12: Special Edition (60th Anniversary)
Style: Quadrupel
Label Info: Quadupel Abbey Ale; Challenger and Goldling hops, black, amber, munich and pale Malts; ABV 10%
Brewery: St. Bernardus.
================================================== =========================
Glassware: Chimay Chalice
Pour: Dark. Maybe a dark red, almost black. Nice head, barely fades at all through the entire glass.
Nose: Apple, malts. A doughy scent.Maybe some dark fruits (Raisins, plums) Glorious Belgian funk.
Taste: Malt, right up front and dominating. Dates, spice and cinnamon. The alcohol is making this stuff a little hot. Some dark bread comes through. Surprisingly some bitter hops come through. Red apple.
Finish: Bitter hops on the front, strange funkiness on the long end of the finish. Can't place what the taste is.
Overall: Damn fine brew. i wish I had some of the regular edition to compare it to. Damn easy drinking for a Quad that's 10% ABV. I am a BIG fan of the regular Abt 12 and this stuff may have topped it (It's been a while since I hd the regular so I can't be definative)
Rating: 5.75/6 Beer Mugs, one of my all-time favorites. I just couldn't give it a pefect though, that Holy Grail is still out there somewhere, waiting for me.
